Storing navigator information?
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:25 am
Hey, I'm a complete newbie at PHP. I picked up a book a couple of days ago, because I'm in desperate need of a finished site.
I'm a C/++ programmer, but I'm not experienced at a higher-level language such as PHP.
The first thing that I've decided needs to be done, is make a navigator that every page loads. I want to make it easy to manage and edit. Also, I've decided that the site will be based on flat text file storage, because I don't think databases will be necessary for the things I'm going to be doing, and I don't have time to learn to use them.
There are 3 things that I need to store. 1) the main headings 2) the titles of the links under them 3) the actual URL the links.
http://thechaosrift.com/template.htm The navigator panel on the left is what I'm refering to.
Is there any format you guys would recommend I store this in with text files so that they can easily be extracted and put into place when the site loads from the navigator?
Should I use multiple text files?
Any help or advice is much appreciated.
